With a clear and concise calendar view, you can take control of your busy schedule. Doodle is the perfect tool for organization and planning. We offer a direct calendar connection to Google, Outlook.com, and Microsoft 365 calendars so you can keep all your appointments together and watch out for double bookings!

Scheduling meetings with your online planner

Click the create a Doodle button at the top right of the screen. Fill in the title of your meeting, the location and any notes you may have. With this example, we’ll use ‘Board meeting.’

Select your date options

Select times for your meeting from the week view or the month view. The week view will show you your calendar week just as you’d see in Outlook or Gcal. If you’ve connected your calendar you’ll see all your appointments in Doodle for easy scheduling. It’s best to choose a few options to increase the likelihood that you can find a time for everyone. You can also choose text if you’d like to create a free text poll and collect votes on anything you like.

Add your settings

On the settings page in step 3, you can add options like ‘yes, no, if-need-be’, limit the number of votes per option, or hidden poll.

Complete your poll

Enter your email address and send out your meeting invitations to your clients, colleagues, or your team. Sit back and let everyone vote on options for the meeting. In minutes (or seconds) you’ve found the time that’s best for everyone. If you sign up for a free account we’ll keep track of all your meeting invitations in one place.
